A GENTLEMAN deSeryedly high in the

the REGISTER OF trying To run the re-
union in the interest of President CLEvE-

The REGISTER fails To remember any
thing it has said in connection with the
reunion that should give rise to this aecu-
satiOn. We attempted TO defend the Pres
ideut, and at the same time the G. A. r.,
from the insults OF politicians. We are
not conscious OF any deeper design than
that of securing for the President the re-
spect his high office deserves and Of shield
ing the Grand Army veterans from the i'm
piled charge that they would not give him
this respect IL would serve the Republic

outrage to political advantage by uphold

1t is not rs a partisan newspaper that
the REGISTER urges the removal Of the pol
iticians from the head and front Of our COM
ing reunion, but as a sincere friend of the
old soldiers, whose pleasure in joining
hands again should not be alloy Ell with the
bitter turmoil of politics, nor they them
selves used as a breastwork for q political
mud battery directed at the Commander in
Chief of the United States Army.

will be success on its own merits, We be-
heye, despite the politicians, will take us

As \ sort of recreation from the arduous
and heating task of racing around the
asylums and poor houses after President
CLEyELAND's alleged war substitute, We
recommend TO Republican journalists the
more cOngenial and far easier work Of
scanning the pages of the noble war record
of JAMES J. BLAINE. They could fire the
Republican heart with a glowing recital
OF how the Plumed Knight heroically laid
the foundation of his fortune during the
war for the Union; how with sublime pa
.riOtiSm Re struggled and got in on the
ground floor Of fat Government contracts;
how the three months troops were fitted
out by the United States, and how the
noble BLAINE, with love OF country un-
paralleled worked his hOuest hand into the
L. S. Treasury vaults; how with a self
denial that should 20 laundering down the
ages he took mp and pushed with all his
might the cases of the railroads and single
handed, collected money from the United
States for the transportation Of troops for
% per cent consideration. All this and
much more might be told with grand effect
as early "reminiscences after a cable dis

veteran is now resting on his hard-earned
dollars and receiving the homage of Eu-

the present attitude of the Treasury De-

HERBERT F. BEECHER is merely piece Of
brayado; that the officials of the depart

irregularities practiced by BEECHER, but
have not dared to remove him on account
OF the feeling prevalent that the President
